When making a minimum deposit to an online casino, one important factor to consider is how big of a fee an online casino takes for processing the deposit since a big fee would obviously take a significant portion of the initial deposit. Bovada and Slots.lv (US-eligible) both take a 4.7% fee for credit card deposits while Bet365 credit card deposits (for non-US only) are free.
Minimum Deposit FAQ
What’s the Easiest Way to Make a Minimum Deposit?
Making a credit card deposit is still the easiest way to deposit to an online poker site. VISA credit cards are accepted at just about every online casino and the money is on your player account instantly (Mastercard and American Express are sometimes viable options as well).
A credit card deposit is the fastest and easiest way for US players to make a minimum deposit by a landslide; for players outside of the US, there are other options as well such as Neteller and online bank transfers.
Can I Get the Welcome Bonus with a Minimum Deposit?
At most online casinos even the minimum deposit allows you to get the welcome bonus. Other casinos have a general minimum deposit limit but also a separate limit for the welcome bonus – however, from what I’ve heard, you can work around this hurdle at most casinos by contacting the casino and explaining that you want to try the casino with a small deposit and you would like to get the welcome bonus since you plan on being a long-time customer. More often than not they will then grant you the bonus.
How Do Fees Affect Minimum Deposit Requirements?
Pay attention to possible deposit fees at casinos with low minimum deposit requirements – for example, if the minimum deposit at an online casino is $20 and there’s $3 deposit fee, you have to deposit $23 in total in order to meet the minimum deposit requirement.
